Going On Vacation to see "Forty Shades of Green"!

I have been walking on sunshine this week not only in anticipation about becoming a grandmother for the first time by the end of this year, but also because I am going back to Ireland, with my husband, for a combination business and pleasure trip tomorrow!

We will be in Dublin most of the time and be making some side trips to the Giant's Causeway, Glens of Antrim and the wild Atlantic coast of Northern Ireland, Counties Wexford, Waterford and Kilkenny, and also to County Meath and the Valley of the Kings to see Newgrange, a tomb about 500 years older than the great pyramids!

We visited Ireland two years ago and toured mainly on the west coast, and only spent two days on the east coast in Dublin, so we'll be visiting many new places this trip.


The Port of Cobh where many Irish emigrated by ship to America in the middle 1800's

I have labeled archived blog posts listed in my right sidebar under "Ireland" if you are interested in reading about our prior trip. It is such a beautiful country, and we had so many wonderful memories that I wanted to share around St. Patrick's Day of this year.

The Gap of Dunloe, Killarney, County Kerry

I will not have Internet access while I am away, so I'll have quite a bit of catching up to do when
I return.


Until then ..... SLAINTE! (Gaelic for "cheers!")
